Acclaimed Flop: Hugely popular and considered a masterpiece by several gaming outlets upon its release, but the sales were too weak to cover development costs (not entirely surprising as Shenmue was the most expensive game of all time at the time of its release, with a budget of $47 million, equivalent to $67 million in 2015).
Killer App: For the Dreamcast, tied with the first Soul Calibur.
No Export for You: The second one was never released on Dreamcast in North America. The Xbox release was a year later. Many die hard fans imported even though it was expensive and required a special disc that could cancel regional lockout. It was still cheaper than buying an Xbox which had just been released.
